I am 67 years old. If I want a burger, a steak, meat loaf, or any of the current sandwich meats available, I will eat that! Whether the cuisine be European, Asian, or good ol’ Americano!
My Dad’s heart surgeon said pretty much the same thing...he said the bigger threat to Dad is anemia from too little iron and b vitamins, so eat steaks, burgers and liver and onions or fried chicken liver if that’s what it takes to boost soluble iron, it’s safer and easier on the stomach than supplements. My Dad’s arteries weren’t clogged with cholesterol they were clogged with calcium from him chomping on tums all his life- not all heart and artery conditions are from a fatty diet. He’s got great bones though...
